Prairie Biscuit way of life

funerals, camping, deer, life has been awful/ beautiful lately....like the song goes....

I had another death in the family....Another of my aunts passed away.  She left behind her husband whom seems lost without her...4 wonderful kids, several children and great grandchildren.  Seeing all the old pictures of her it seemed just like yesterday when they lived next door to us.  We had all been a close family for so long but it seemed that everyone is so wrapped up with their own families now that we never get together...I am just as guilty as the next, maybe even more so. 

 It seems we went over 20 years with noone leaving us and now...well....Anyhow...She died the evening before the "anniversary" of my dad's death on Friday.  We spent the weekend going to the lake to celebrate dad's life.  He spent most of it in that area....he is buried there...and all of our favorite memories are there with him.  We had a good time being together my sisters, mom, and our family together yesterday.  I have plans of camping after we lay our aunt to rest this week.  It is a good time to build memories of our own and talk about how fragile life is and not taking each other for granted.  And I will try to have good pictures and happier stories than the ones of late.....geeezzzz we are dropping like flies around here, so my daughter says....sweet kids...haha  I went to school with the local funeral director and I love the sweet guy but I am getting tired of seeing him so much!!!! 

On a lighter note....another friend of mine is an wild animal rehab guru....she needed a vacation so I have been babysitting a 3 week old doe and buck....they are very cute and feeding them has been lots of fun.  The kids love learning more about the animals too.  Here is a picture of the pair....arent they tasty....I mean adorable...hahaha
